The next date for the test is planned to be August 23, 2016. To apply to the test please contact course lecturers (egons.lavendelis@rtu.lv, ilze.andersone@rtu.lv)! Before taking the test both laboratory works should be submitted.

Computer Networks:

For students who attended classes: The final mark is formed from two tasks from each course part. To successfully pass this course, both tasks must be completed before task deadline.

For extramural students: The final mark will formed from both tasks and final exam. Final exam is being held on August 24, 2016.

Answers from both tasks must be sent to eriks.klavins@rtu.lv before August 24.

Recently we had several questions on how the international students can acquire the precondition courses. Here is the explanation.

The mandatory pre-condition courses for entering the program are Higher Matehematics, Computer Networks, and Databases. If students are missing any of these subjects in their previous education - in general, they must acquire them before starting studies in the Business Inforamtics program. We offer all of these courses as distance learning ones, and anybody can acquire them as an RTU guest student. There are different price options that are described in http://bi.rtu.lv/eng/content/preconditions (see different pre-condition course types).

For making things easier for the international students that have to pass the precondition courses, we do the following exceptions:

1) Students can be accepted for the program before actually passing of the precondition courses if they provide a written confimation to RTU FSD that they will take the precondition courses before actual start of the program or according to the rules described in Point 3 below.

2) Students can take final exams in pre-condition courses upon their arrival in Riga: we can see the student progress in the courses. If the assignemnts are done - the examination can be post-poned to the arrival time. If assignments are not done, this is considered as a violation of the agreement.

3) Taking into consideration, that we have the admission twice per year the following simplications can be done:

a) to start studies in September: Databases and Computer networks should be taken in advance, however Higher Mathematics can be taken in parallel with the actual studies in the program with the final exam no later than January of the next year;

b) to start studies in January: Higher Mathematics should be taken in advance, but Computer Networks and Databased can be taken in parallel with the actual studies in the program with the final exam no later than in August.
